Not for first offense. Don’t sweat the small stuff, Op.

If my kid told me that the teacher said that, I would assume he misheard darn it. I certainly wouldn’t be confident enough to complain to the principal.

My fifth grader would love it! As a teacher/parent I’d laugh if he told me. We all have those days and any parent who’d complain after one slip is likely the type to get an eye roll from admin anyway

Just claim you said "damage", and that the kid must have misheard.
Stick to the story.

Ignoring this was just meek and stupid. Parenting FAIL.

I would have encouraged my child (male or female) to request a meeting with the principal to state what happened.



I hate troll posts like this.

Yeah, what else can we expect from public education and FCPS at this point, right?

So you can look ridiculous?

Please, go ahead.

During virtual learning in MCPS, my 5th grader's teacher blasted out offensive lyrics at the beginning of every class.

You've got a long parenting road ahead of you if you react to every little mishap.

Honestly, I accidently said "damn it" today, would you email the principal if your DC tell you that his 5th grade teacher said "DAMN IT"
